Tech-savvy criminals try to evade being tracked by changing their cellphone’s built-in ID code and by regularly dumping SIM cards. But engineers in Germany have discovered that the radio signal from every cellphone handset hides within it an unalterable digital fingerprint – potentially giving law enforcers a simple way of tracking the handset itself. Developed by Jakob Hasse and colleagues ...

Component distribution alive in China

Gary Kibblewhite, chairman of the International Distributors of Electronics Association (IDEA) recently visited a number of distributors of electronic components on the Chinese mainland and gave a presentation to others in an attempt to encourage Chinese component distributors set up their own local trade association.
